I have an old Synology 1819 NAS that was the unfortunate victim of the Intel Atom/Clock bug. I would like to repurpose the case as I like the compact form factor. Has anyone tried replacing a synology mobo with something else (ex: an ITX board or a Raspberry Pi), and using an alternative operating system?

      I think you’re right, it measures 200x145x15mm with 2 PCIe slots at right angles connecting to the backplane. I’d had it taken apart for so long I hadn’t considered the height. I was also wrong about the model# it was an 1815, now that I look at the mobo. I guess I could re-purpose the case for something else. I appreciate the reply, looks like I’m going hunting for a similar form factor case this weekend
